Jewelry

I found this book, Juliana Jewelry Reference, DeLizza & Elster by Ann Mitchell Pitman really exciting as I love jewelries, I collect them and I have never read a book about their history. It shows a fascinating story of each piece of art, from who made it to its value today. The pictures express the vintage character of some of the jewelries and they seem to be authentic. I enjoyed it very much and I will keep coming back to it as it inspires me in choosing new models and creating maybe other trends. The effort in making a jewel deserves much more appreciation from those ones who mass produce the low quality ones.

Must Have for Collectors

Great book with really stunning photos. This is excellent for jewelry collectors and a must-have for collectors of DeLizza&Elster pieces. It is clear that this book was thoroughly researched and it's an essential reference.
